Another haunting melody from Flogging! 
Pretty simple stuff.. lots of fun to sing!

The Emway the blood still Fdances beCneath the skin 
There the Emmessenger from Fhell says were Cbound to win
As the Gdays do come but the Fyears do go
So take Gcare of your Ffreedom they'll never Cknow
AmI sit on the Fwing for a Cblackbird song
AmTo tell me Gwere and when this Fall went wrong
